Julie is 8 Months Today!

My baby girl is growing up. It is so crazy!
Here are some things about my Julie. Julie is sitting all by her self, She LOVEs her daddy and me of course. Julie is a fantastic eater. she loves baby food, some more then others but she is such a trooper and eats her vegies. She smiles all the time and giggles when we play. Julie likes to blow rasberries and zerberts (zerberts are new) She loves to walk with some one holding her hands and will do it all day if she could. I have been practicing crawling with Julie for the past 2 weeks. not constantly but once in a while. I would show her how to crawl by doing it my self then I would help her do it her self (I have discovered that Julie is a visual learner,and loves to imitate me.
any way a few days ago Julie discovered she could roll and get some where even if it was not exactly were she wanted to go. so she has been doing that. but yesterday Julie finally discovered how to kind of scoot. she has been perfecting her scooting today and is actually able to go in a straight line and get things. I am so proud!
One of Julies favorite things is to attack Herrys face and eat his floppy ears. Harry is such a good dog, he takes it like a champ.
Oh and Julie LOVEs Ice cream!
but not just any ice cream some baby Ice cream. I made it with my Vitamix. I just took some frozen bananas and a little water. blended it up and tada, baby ice cream!
she loves it but it is so funny to watch her eat it. Julie takes a bite, has a huge body shiver then wants more. he he he.
Julie has two new teeth! her two bottom teeth have come through and are sharp just incase any one is foolish enough to stick your finger in her mouth like me. ;)
well thats all I can think of. Julie your daddy and I love you so much! we are so glad you are our girl.

Pictures are coming, I just need to find my phone cord. 8)

Love you Fred!!!!

Lots of Happenings and Julie!

Hi all, a lot of things have happend sense my last post.
 We bought a house! this took a while and we had a few adventures and slight drama in this endever. here is what happend: In July Fred and I decided to go see a house on the corner neer our trailer park that was for sale "just for fun" we really liked it so we decided "just out of curiosity" to see what type of home loan we would be approved for.
It turned out that we were approved for a decent amount (not enough to purchase the house on the corner) We also discovered that if we purchased a house we would be paying about the same or just a tiny bit more for our mortgage then what we were paying for our trailer and for land rent a month. so we decided we were going to bye a house!
I found a realtor and we started looking at homes in our price range. We decided on a manufactured home out in Archer, about 10 min south of Rexburg. It was a 4 bed 2 bath home on 2 archers of land. we were pretty excited.
During this time we were working with the bank to get our loan fixed and ready to close. we had fixed on a price with the sellers and were just waiting on the bank to do its appraisal  the appraisal came back but there was a problem... some how we had neglected to tell our loan officer that the home we were getting was a manufactured home and he had forgotten to ask. it turnes out that our bank does not give loans for manufactured homes. so we had a choice, we could find another bank or we could find another home. there were many factors in our decision making that I wont go into but the main one was time. we had sold our trailer and only had about two weeks til we had to be out so we decided to find another home.
With in a two day period we had decided to purchase a sweet little home in Sugar City.

We closed last monday and I have just got to say that it is so nice to be in our little home, it is perfect for  us.
We bought a truck! We bought it for our move, im not sure if we will keep it or sell it again but we got a good deal on it and I like it a lot. It is a white 1990 Ford 4x4. it is with Fred right now so I will post pictures latter.
I have done a few halloween crafts in the past couple of days and I thought I would share. 8)
In the past have not decorated much for all the holidays in the year, it is some thing I really want to do and this is the first step. here is what I have done so far.
                           
                                                This is my MONSTER Wreath, int he cute!

                               

                                                      These are my little MUMMYs

And these are my little toilet paper roll BATS

I have a kitchen curten and a matching tabel runner that I still need to make but trust me they are going to be super cute as well. 8)

AND now JULIE!

She has gotten so big! Julie is 6 almost 7 months old now. She is still a tiny little thing compared to other kids but so big to me. she is 14lb and so tall! Julie is talking a lot and trying to grab everything.  She stil loves to stand and if you stand her up on the ground holding her hands some times she will take a few steps. I am not ready for her to walk yet though.

Julie is getting more dexterity in her hands but mostly bats at everything and she is now eating solid food once a day! she loves the food but is still trying to figure out how to eat it. eating is much different then nursing. 8)

Here are some videos and pictures of my girl. 

This is the first time Julie ate solid food, she makes the funniest faces but seems to like it fine 8)

                                                                       Jammy time!
                                                               

We sure love her and have so much fun with our little Jules.

My Crazy Adventure

So on Monday I decided to head to Idaho Falls to bye Julie some cloths. she is growing so much and was in need of 6-9 month cloths. I tell you what, she is going to be so tall.
I stopped off at my in laws house before heading to IF to drop something off and decided to leave Julie there to spend some quality time with her aunt Anna. I am SO glad I did.
I got quite a few cute outfits and jammies for Julie at Ross. (love that store) and was headed home when   this lady in a red car starts to merge in to my lane (I was in the left lane passing some cars) where I am. I honk my horn and swerve out of the way. I couldn't swerve to much because the median was deep and i wold nave rolled my car.  I tried to correct but ended up over correcting, hit one of those poles on the side of the freeway on the drivers side and spun across the high way to the other side of the road and into some weeds.  It was crazy.
The lady pulled over and we exchanged insurance info etc.
Over all super crazy, scary experience but I was not injured, the car was ok except for the large dent from the pole I hit and Julie was not in the car so it all turned out ok.

Here is our pore car. I assume the lady's insurance is going to pay for our dore to get fixed. at least that is what I am hopping

Harry Our Newest Family Member

This is Harry, he is a 6 month old boxer/? mix puppy. Fred rescued him from the pound last friday so we have had him for over a week! He is the sweetest snuggle dog, he will come up to you and just want to be loved.
Jeff did not like him at all at first, he sulked for about two days but then started to worm up to him. now they play and are on there way to being good friends. 8)
When we got harry he had a large lump on his neck, the pound did not think it was any thing serious but said that they would pay for the vet diagnose and hopefully fix it.
Well Harry had his vet appointment on thursday for his neck but also to get neutered. (pore guy)
The vet lanced the lump and let it drain out. Now harry has this big bandage over his head so that his pore neck can heal.

He looks quite pathetic really.
We get to take off his bandage on monday so only one more day! He is such a trouper though, I can tell he wants to scratch the bandage off.
Hopefully by this time next week he will be back to his old self. 8)

Fun Happenings And a Family Reunion

Hey all this past week we attended our Eaton Family Reunion. It was a ton of fun. we had it at a really neet place with a lodge, playground, sandbox, swingset and places to set up tents. All of Freds siblings came and a few cozens. It was great seeing everyone. Here are a few pictures of the things we did.

Ok, these next pictures are of an awesome activity that all 36 of the kids did. My mother-in-law got long pieces of big bubble wrap. they spread the bubble wrap on the flore and on the count of three all the kids started dancing and jumping all over it. It was a lot of fun and SO loud. there is a video of part of it.

        We had a ton of fun. Thanks to every one who worked so hard to make sch a great reunion.

4th of July

We had a fantastic 4th of July. Fred got the day off so we slept in then headed out to his moms house where we visited with family and got ready for the amazing party at my sister-in-law Anna's house.

At about 5:30 we headed to Anna's house in Idaho Falls. Anna and her husband Jason had prepared this grommet meet along with hambergers and hotdogs and brautwurst. everything else was potluck. It was AMAZING everything was so good! 

After dinner we set off fireworks then sat back and watched the Idaho Falls fire work show. Anna's front yard has an amazing view of the fireworks.

We ended up leaving half way through the fire work show because Fred had to get up early for work the next morning and I am so glad we did, we missed all of the trafic and had a great drive home.

Here are some pictures of the 4th and of just awesomeness.

                                             So cool just sportin her sunglasses......so cool.

Mommy and Julie.....SO cool.

                                 
                                   Here's Julie experiencing grass for the first time. She loved it.

                          I love Julies expression in this picture. Fred is just being goofy dad.

Soo cool

Here's a video of my girl. enjoy!
